bencraft Hats is good one in NYC. I ordered two Borsalino hats from them a few weeks ago but they were a little small for the size. I sent them back and talked with one of the guys there who recommended a replacement. Did it for two stetsons :)
Thats why you should keep a few silver coins in your pocket :) Cant go wrong there but its a pain to do a transaction and convenience everyone its worth a whole lot more than current face value. The fiat currency is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Its like all the countries got together...
I am a little timid about doing anything to my hats that involves cleaning not to mention staining. I just recently had a problem with the brim on one of my dobbs hats because of the rain. I thought about trying to fix the problem myself and got some great ideas from the forum members but I...
lol I know this may sound funny but I was asked to remove my hat in the lobby before a concert :) I did as I was told and also apologized. I thought I was being a brute but I think it maybe a southern thing because another gentleman with a hat was also asked to remove his hat in the lobby too.

Hi Bill,
Let me answer you questions below:
1. Fur Felt
2. Dobbs Dayton around $135
3. Snappy :)
4. The brim was nice and firm with a good snap before the rain. Now it semi snappys compared to what it started out.
5. The crown was ok. It seemed to only effect the brim.
I think the...
I did something a little stupid the other day. I wore my hat in the rain and did not really put it up to dry properly. I noticed the brim was not flipping like it used too. I read the posts about steaming the brim a little and I did it try steaming. The flip brim did come back a little but not...
I like the quality of the jet more than the Dayton. The jet is made a bit better imo and it fits like a glove. If Dobbs would make a golden coach Dayton. I would be in heaven :)
Hi guys,

The fabric looks a lot like the fabric pattern of my dark gray Joseph Abboud suit. You might want to start with there. Lord and Taylors website had it a while back
